Silver Scroll-edged Russian Cross Orthodox Body Crucifix For Him

The composition of this openwork cross is typical for Orthodox crosses made in the northern provinces of Russia. The main crossbars are crowned by a silver trefoil that symbolizes the Holy Trinity and the Resurrection. Two inscriptions in Church Slavonic language praise the Lord and the Christianity: The acronym IHЦI (INRI) represents the inscription "Іисус Назарянинъ, Царь Іудейскій" (Latin: "Iēsus Nazarēnus, Rēx Iūdaeōrum", English: “Jesus the Nazarene, King of the Jews”) placed atop the cross as ordered by Pontius Pilate and IC XC (Іисусъ Христосъ-Jesus Christ). The reverse features an ever-present message Спаси и Cохрани (Protect and save me, oh my God). This Russian silver crucifix pendant is not solely a religious symbol, but also a beautiful piece of men's jewelry.
